There's a new movie, new TV shows, new games, a major convention, and a fleet of books and comics. Here's an EW guide to 2019's display of Force… 02 of 24 Episode IX Lucasfilm We don't have a title for director J.J. Abrams new installment in the Skywalker saga, but we know Mark Hamill will be returning in some form as Luke, and unused footage of Carrie Fisher will be used to close Leia Organa's story. Hopes are high for an inspiring conclusion to the trilogy, especially considering the other stars… 03 of 24 Luke, Leia, Lando John Wilson/©2017 Lucasfilm Ltd.; Lucasfilm Ltd.; Everett Collection Along with Luke, Lando Calrissian is also making a comeback in Episode IX, with Billy Dee Williams returning to join veterans Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Joonas Suotamo, and Kelly Marie Tran, along with newcomers to the galaxy Keri Russell, Richard E. Grant, and Naomi Ackie. It debuts Dec. 20. 04 of 24 The Mandalorian Lucasfilm This limited TV series from Iron Man filmmaker Jon Favreau is also set for later in 2019, kicking off the Disney+ streaming service (which hasn't yet announced its launch).

Costars include Gina Carano, Nick Nolte, Giancarlo Esposito, and Carl Weathers, among others. 05 of 24 The Clone Wars season 7 Lucasfilm This beloved animated series from executive producer Dave Filoni reached an abrupt end five years ago when Lucasfilm canceled it to focus on new Star Wars stories. Now, the Disney+ streaming service has commissioned 12 new episodes exploring the unfinished business between Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and their exiled Jedi-in-training Ahsoka Tano (seen here as a hologram alongside Mandalorian warrior Bo-Katan Kryze). 06 of 24 Star Wars Celebration — Chicago Lucasfilm One of two major galactic events taking place in our world this year. This gathering of thousands in the Windy City is expected to reveal new details about Lucasfilm's upcoming movies and TV shows, both near and far. (Maybe we'll learn about things even beyond this year, like the Cassian Andor streaming series with Diego Luna, and the films being developed by The Last Jedi's Rian Johnson and Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.) Assemble your cosplay plan, and click here for tickets to the April 11-15 event. 07 of 24 Galaxy's Edge at Disney theme parks Disney This is the other major Star Wars event happening on planet Earth this year.

Guests can pilot the fastest ship in the galaxy in the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run ride, and witness a space battle aboard a First Order starship in the Rise of the Resistance experience. Fight bravely, and have fun. Just don't get cocky, kid. 08 of 24 Vader Immortal — virtual reality experience Lucasfilm No specific date has been set, but this virtual reality title will be released for the $399 Oculus Quest, which hits stores this spring. ILMxLAB has developed the immersive game, which was written and executive produced by The Dark Knight screenwriter David S. Goyer.

He's even on horseback (or whatever creature that steed is).

This April 16 novel is from Claudia Gray, who penned the amazing Senator Leia Organa book Bloodline and wrote one of the most moving stories in the collection From a Certain Point of View, in which hermit Obi-Wan on Tatooine converses with the Force ghost of Qui-Gon. 22 of 24 Thrawn: Treason by Timothy Zahn Del Rey Timothy Zahn revitalized Star Wars in the 1990s with his trilogy of post-Jedi novels featuring this blue-skinned manipulator, and he has revamped the character again with a series of canonical novels, beginning with the 2017 origin story Thrawn, the 2018 Vader team-up Alliances, and this July 23 novel in which Grand Admiral Thrawn tries to find his place in the Empire amid the construction of the Death Star. 23 of 24 C-3PO Does NOT Like Sand! Lucasfilm "Fussy" does not begin to describe him. Illustrated by Brian Kesinger, this kid-friendly story (out June 4) sees the golden protocol droid facing down one of his most fearsome foes — dirt.
